Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

I have the 22 port, actual, real version of this. It's leveled up my cable organization game.
Unfortunately these high capacity power strips always have surge protector functionality in them, and it's a very bad idea to daisy-chain surge protectors because they can interrupt each other trying to stop the current and all of your stuff will get fried.
Power strips are fine as long as you aren't exceeding the maximum load, but they never come with as many plugs so that's how I ended up with four different power strips and some 1 foot extension cords for all those damn wall warts.
All of that is going into the handful of battery backup plugs on the uninterruptible power supply so if I'm ever playing a retro game and the power goes out, I don't lose my progress! You know how evil games used to be; half the time you can't even save the damn game lol
I haven't done an analysis of my power strip / surge protector layout, but my gaming system is just plugged into a UPS with six ports.
The 22 port one is for my server closet. I'd love to show you, but for some reason my client won't allow me to upload photos.
